HALLOWEEN hit theaters in 1978 and was a runaway hit, setting the stage for a decade full of slasher films trying to recreate the sheer terror audiences felt when they were first introduced to Michael Myers.

The success of HALLOWEEN was thanks in large part to Myers, the silent stalking figure, clad in faded coveralls and a haunting white mask who prowled the streets of a small town in Illinois. This archetype resonated so well with audiences that film makers have been going back to it for decades. Not only has the HALLOWEEN franchise seen numerous successful sequels and remakes, films like Friday the 13th, The Prowler and more recently the Scream franchise all pay homage to John Carpenter’s classic.
